Customer Ratings & Reviews

Absolutely love this iPad For my daughter it’s Fast lots of Storage and keeps her entertained! And the battery life is great.

Device is definitely fast with a big screen. Battery life is also good.

My first iPad! It's a great device, easy to set up, and has no problems with connectivity. Lightning cable isn't usb-c so that's the only potential issue, but the price is better than the upgraded cable version. The lightning cable doesn't bother me at all. Battery life is excellent between internet browsing, small games, and facetime.

Very fast with excellent battery. The display is very good and navigation feels smooth. Dimensions are perfect for carrying around.

I’ve been using the iPad 9th generation for a while now, and it’s been a solid choice. The 10.2-inch Retina display looks great for streaming, reading, and browsing, and the A13 Bionic chip keeps everything running smoothly, even for light editing and gaming. The 12MP front camera with Center Stage is a nice touch for video calls, and the rear camera is fine for basic shots. Battery life is solid—about 10 hours, which gets me through a full day. It’s also compatible with the 1st-gen Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard, making it a great option for note-taking or light work. For the price, it offers great value and is perfect if you don’t need the high-end features of the iPad Pro.

The iPad 10th Gen ditches the older 10.2-inch screen for a more modern Liquid Retina display with slim bezels, offering a better viewing experience.USB-C Charging – Finally, Apple moves away from the Lightning port, making it easier to use universal chargers and accessories.A14 Bionic Chip – A noticeable upgrade in speed and performance compared to the 9th Gen, making multitasking and gaming smoother.New Design & Colors – Flat edges and vibrant color options (Blue, Pink, Silver, and Yellow) make it look more like the iPad Air.Improved Front Camera Placement – The front camera is now landscape-oriented, making video calls more natural.

I purchased this ipad foe my stepson for Christmas his ipad mini was old and outdated. He loves his new ipad! I love that it is durable, sleek, and stylish. Screen quality is clear.

This lightweight iPad is very fast and great for travel. I have no problems connecting it to non apple keyboard and headphones via blue tooth. Had it for over a year without any issues.

I debated whether to buy 9th or 10 th generation iPad but the 199$ price for the 9th sealed the deal. I like the home button, the screen is beautiful and it is fast and sleek. I use it for reading and for streaming and it does great for both. Excellent deal

One of my favorite purchases, great size, fast, great storage, as screen

I am very happy with my purchase of the Apple iPad 9th generation. Setup is extremely easy and is less then 3 minutes. On-screen resolution and colors are brilliant!, Great screen size and overall performance is quite fast as well. Price was very good for an ipad of this caliber, $249!! I highly recommend this tablet! Buy it, you wont be sorry!

This is my third iPad, but an upgrade from the Mini. Stellar speed and performance, great display, and good balance of real estate to heaviness. Would recommend to anyone!

I am very happy with my 9th generation iPad, it is very smooth to use. It reacts quickly to applications and does not hang. The battery lasts a long time and it is very light in weight. It is easy to use for work and schoolwork.

I love this iPad! I have the first generation of iPad and this one is faster and lighter. It also have tons of memory for my kids games. The price was amazing and so was Best Buy’s service.

Love this IPad! Everyone preaches for me to get the newer and more advanced ones, but I didn’t need a super expensive one. This does everything I need. I’m a photographer and this big IPad helps a TON with editing pictures. I got the Apple pen and a Hard Case for the iPad as well. I use this nearly every day for my full time job and my side job, it’s a fantastic product.

The 9th-generation iPad is simply amazing! With its smooth performance and stunning 10.2” Retina display, it’s perfect for everything—studying, working, and even binge-watching shows in high quality. The A13 Bionic chip ensures fast and efficient performance, making every task feel seamless. Plus, its compatibility with the Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard is a game-changer for productivity. The battery life easily lasts all day, which is essential for people on the go. If you’re looking for a reliable and affordable iPad, this is hands down the best choice!

Excellent for my 6 year old. Very durable and just right space and capability for all she needs to do.

Excellent process speed, beautiful colors. Great size for traveling. While I use it mostly for leisure, it can easily handle any office workload I throw at it.

I just purchased this (9th generation) iPad & I love it. It's completely better than my 6th generation iPad. The battery life is excellent, the screen is larger, & it came with the latest apple update. So I'm able to use all of the features that the latest iPhone has. I traded in my 6th generation so I was able to get my new iPad for $220.00. Thank you BestBuy in Orland Park, IL.

This 10.2” iPad 9th gen is an easier choice than its theoretical successor, the 10th gen. In fact, the 10th gen is more fitting as an “Air” model than as a humble plain-Jane entry-level iPad, especially since Apple had recently upgraded the actual Air into a near-Pro. I’ll leave it up to you to watch one of the many YouTube videos detailing the specs differences, with several vloggers and bloggers recommending this basic iPad as more than sufficient for almost every user. I’ll just share why it works well for me: 1. I have an iPhone, so being able to toggle a setting to receive and place calls on my iPad automatically linked to my phone is really convenient. 2. I can send or receive iMessages (texts from anyone else’s iPhone or iPad) without even turning on the calls feature, above, and ditto for FaceTime Audio and Video calls. 3. Apple’s App Store is still king of the app stores, and because we can’t load apps from outside sources, I don’t have to squash the malware that phished itself into mom’s Android phone. 4. Apple is much more likely to be approved for use in schools (exams etc), though Chromebooks are also now deeply entrenched. I’d say iPads dominate grades 1-6, Chromebooks take over high school, and iPads replace notebooks in college classes (with MacBooks dominated the dorm and apartments desks). 5. 64gb of standard storage is a significant upgrade over the 8th gen and matches the 10th gen, with almost three times the available (after iOS and pre installed apps) storage on prior 8th gen entry level iPad. 6. 3gb of RAM handles App switching slightly faster than the prior 2gb. 7. It’s fast. Faster than almost all Android tablets even now. 8. Very accurate colors and great brightness make for better Netflix. Before hunting for HDR, make sure your brightness is turned up higher first. A lot of people dial down the brightness, which lowers the contrast range (HDR is all about expanding that contrast range limit). Some negatives: The 10th gen and Air have stereo speakers on left and right sides in landscape, this 9th gen has both of them on the right side. The 10th has USB C, meaning simpler thumb drive transfers IF you have already upgraded to C connected thumb drives. HOWEVER, third party Lightning to thumb drive standard A are now cheaply and readily available, and work fine for me with my existing thumb drives. The camera on the 10th is in the top middle landscape location now. However the camera on the 9th was super upgraded to 12mp and Centerstage, although left in the original iPad location. With Centerstage and improved optics I’m ok with that. This 9th is still current in April 2023 but should be upgraded in the fall. I don’t think Apple will discontinue the concept of two entry level iPads though, just because the 10th is too expensive.
